Palette
Nested diamonds are a graphic, mid-century-modern motif that suits a chunky-weight C2C throw. The four-colour palette is borrowed from 1970s pottery — cream, terracotta, teal and charcoal — but works in almost any swap. Try sage, mustard, navy and cream for a Scandi feel.
The pattern reads as concentric — outer cream, mid terracotta, inner teal, centre charcoal — so the colour changes happen at predictable distances from the centre. C2C makes this geometry easier than SC because the diagonals naturally follow the diamond edges.
Open in Bobble to scale up to a full sofa-throw size — the geometry will stretch cleanly without distortion.
